I installed arch linux and then installed kde
xorg xorg-xinit xterm xorg-twm plasma sddm and then this is the video that displays (thats my dog in the background) http://vid1056.photobucket.com/albums/t ... j3rglk.mp4 |

way outside my knowledge base but you need to provide more information for someone to be able to assist
- version KDE & Arch - graphics hw - graphics driver |

Thanks to both of you for the reply The monitor is a lg 4k tv that is hooked to a gtx980. Archlinux was installed today so its the latest version How do i run any commands? When I boot the distro it goes right to the video that I posted. |

Cable. HDMI? Not all cables are able to drive 4k @60Hz
HDMI 1.4 High Speed is only capable of 4k @ 24Hz, you need a HDMI 2.0 cable. Press "ctrl+alt+F1/2/3/4/..." to switch between virtual terminals. If those suffer from the same, you'll have to eg. ssh or telnet into the machine. Then run [code] export DISPLAY=:0 xrand -q [code] |

I bought a silver plated hdmi 2.0 cable that is 35ft long. I am able to get 60hz with ease, it has been working with centos but I need something that is more up to date. CTL+ALT+F2 worked. xrandr --query returns "Can't open display" |
|
It's mandatory to
export DISPLAY=:0 so Xlib knows which server to talk to. Plating (gold or silver) is marketing ****, but 35ft is pretty long and that can have severe impact. Notice that 60Hz @ eg. WUXGA is usually no problem, but 4k resolution can easily become (so it matters if that resolution was used before as well) |

Both commands returned results meaning i have nvidia and nouveau installed (all i really did was install with pacman -S nvidia) Here is the results http://s1056.photobucket.com/user/everydaydiesel2/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20151020_175433_zpsepj1fs4f.jpg.html |

I'm trying to see what drivers are installed thinking that might be of value
try
but as I know nada about this kind of setup I suggest you work with luebking |

returns -bash: glx module: command not found I assume you mean cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep nvidia|"grep glx module" and it returns straight to command prompt (nothing returned)
returns nothing (straight to command prompt |
|
export DISPLAY=:0
glxinfo | grep -iA3 vendor The snippets of Xorg.0.log don't provide a final answer, it could be that the nvidia driver is loaded, unloaded and replaced by the nouveau driver (eg. because kms is enabled) If you can, paste the entire Xorg.0.log somewhere. Don't use your smartphone Ensure to get an ssh server running on the troublesome machine, so you can just copy it - or plug in a usb key and copy it there |

I mean there is no output of that command. Here is the complete log
|
|
It's the nvidia driver and it believes the system is running HDMI 2.0 (the 600MHz pixelclock), yet the video you posted (given those are not artifacts from the smartphone record) looks like a 60Hz signal is fed into a 24Hz screen (or vv.)
I'd check the TV's mode information (if that's available) and compare that to the output of "export DISPLAY=:0; xrandr -q" Since the textshell output seems stable (and looks like VGA on the screenshot), this will probably relate to the 4k resolution. "xrandr --mode 1024x768" should resolve this? (the image will likely be stretched, but we only want to figure whether the cause is the high clockrate) |

hello and thank you for the reply. I have had this hardware setup working for over a year now (the difference is I was using centos instead of arch linux and an older version of KDE)
I ran
and got
gives me
I also tried xrandr --output auto --mode 1024x768 but it tells me No protocol specified Cant open display :0 |
|
Is your X server running on display ":1"? (X must be running, "ps ax | grep X")
Try "DISPLAY=:n xrandr -q" and increase "n" until it stops complaining about no display. Sorry, the complete call would then be "xrandr --output DFP-1 --mode 1024x768" |
